Abstract

In 2006, the earth was home to 6.6 billion people (UN DESA in World population prospects: the 2012 revision, highlights and advance tables, 2013). The United Nations estimated that beginning the same year, the majority of the world population would live in cities and urban areas (UN DESA in World population prospects: the 2012 revision, highlights and advance tables, 2013).
